4 Benefits E-Scrap Services Provide Your Business

The benefits associated with electronic scrap recycling are plentiful, especially for businesses. No two electronics recycling or e-waste recycling companies are the same, but certified companies like CompuCycle, offer the businesses the following benefits and more!  

Financial Value 

E-waste recycling or ITAD services are a well-kept secret of small- and medium-sized businesses, corporations, and Fortune 500 companies have utilized for decades to boost their financial strategies. Perhaps you’ve seen commercials offering to buy your scrap metal for cash. Similarly, e-waste companies like CompuCycle offer cash for electronic scrap, electronic equipment and outdated technology.  

How does it work? Depending on the volume or amount of equipment your organization is recycling, the process typically begins with an inventory and audit of your materials. From here, electronics recyclers like CompuCycle provide an approximate value based on two factors: which products can be refurbished and resold (after being securely and completely wiped of private or sensitive data) and which will need to be shredded and sold for their raw materials. Either way, your old electronic equipment often has value within. By working with a responsible recycler like CompuCycle, your organization can make money that can be utilized for later technology needs or saved for a rainy day!  

Environmental Stewardship  

One of the most obvious and most impactful benefits of e-scrap services is that it helps protect our planet. Recycling your company’s old electronic materials with a responsible, e-Stewards certified organization ensures that these materials, no matter how large or small, avoid landfills. Some of your equipment may even have a second or third life remaining and, after being wiped and refurbished, offering a new end-user a wonderful technology solution. Should your equipment truly be obsolete or unworkable, each of the raw parts should still be recycled? Unfortunately, when electronics are sold through many third-party sellers, this isn’t the case…and your hard drives, wires, cell phones, tablets, and the like end up in landfills across the country and the world. Now consider the negative impact massive piles of trash (and the toxins within) have and will continue to have on our water sources, the air we breathe, and global warming. Consider the alternative and how easy it is to make the environmentally conscious choice!  

Employee Morale 

Working with a well-vetted, certified and responsible e-waste recycler is also great for employee morale. More and more employees are interested in working for organizations that do good work in their communities and make a positive impact on the world. By engaging in the e-scrap recycling process, your company can show your employees that you care about your carbon footprint. Better yet, many e-waste recycling companies like CompuCycle will partner with your business to host electronic recycling drives for your staff. While your business will likely partner with an e-scrap company to recycle its corporate equipment, e-cycling drives offer employees the opportunity to clear out their personal clutter and take care of the Earth while doing so!  

Security  

Lastly, e-waste recycling or ITAD companies offer the benefit of security for your business. Of course, this is only the case with well-respected, responsible, and certified organizations. CompuCycle holds certifications from leading industry organizations, including R2:2013, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, HIPAA, HITECH, Sarbanes Oxley, DoD, PCI, GLB, and FACTA. These certifications require intense audits and scrutiny to ensure that e-waste recycling or ITAD companies are properly and completely destroying the sensitive data found within your organization’s electronic waste, that these products are truly recycled as they make their way downstream, and that nothing ever ends up in a landfill.  

By working with a certified and responsible recycler, you can recycle your IT equipment with confidence, knowing that all hard drives and data will be safely, securely, and thoroughly wiped or shredded!
